Ninety Days In The 90s: A Rock N Roll Time Travel Story

If you could time travel back to the 90s…

Would you go see Nirvana’s first gig? Form a punk band? Play a winning lottery ticket? Buy Amazon stock?

 Sounds great, but Darby has other ideas. 

Darby Derrex is not experiencing an early midlife crisis. (Or is she?) She’s failed on Wall Street and in her relationships. She returns to Chicago to take over her uncle’s record store and imagines a “do-over.”  Little does Darby know a time machine rumbles under her feet.

Chicago, 1996: Grunge tops the charts. Concertgoers are crowd surfing. Bands like Smashing Pumpkins rescue us from Celine Dion and hair metal. And it’s the year Darby left behind her music critic job—and her true love.

Once Darby goes back, she has a blast—and that’s part of the problem. She’s got 90 days to return or stay back forever. Both are tempting, but Darby has to face the music.
